7 Weeks old and Looking for forever homes


Apollo is a lovely little fellow at 7 weeks old. He is laid back and loves to play.
This week both puppies have been leash training. We leash train by attaching the leashes to each puppy and letting them run around. They tug at each others leashes and get stuck on furniture, they are always supervised so when they get stuck the heroes (humans) come to the rescue. This week the puppies also went to the Vet for shots and a look over. They are both very healthy and now ready to head to new homes.
Our little princess Athena. Athena is a doll and loves to play with Dexter. This week she has been sneaking in to his kennel. Athena has a very thick shorter coat.

Dexter and the puppies are looking for a tidbit in Dexter's floor mat. The puppies love to spend time with Dexter, and Dexter seems to enjoy spending time with the puppies. If the puppies rub against Dexter's leg he lays down and lets the puppies crawl all over him. Like most new things the puppies and Dexter are always supervised when they play together.

Play time. I happened to snap a few in the middle of a mock battle. All puppies love to ruff house for a little while each day. Toys are a good substitute for a sibling when it comes to playtime. If you would like to see more pictures of the puppies I have them listed on my Picasa site.
We have been working on potty training for the past 2 weeks. As it has been soo cold here in Iowa we have been putting the puppies into the greenhouse every few hours and they go outside for 1 potty break each day. The puppies have learned to climb the 3 stairs into the house and are pretty good about comming in when they are called.
